May Day

In 1886, immigrant workers marched for their rights in Chicago, helping to create what quickly became perhaps the most global of holidays, a holiday for the international working class to march together in struggle. In 2006, May Day was resurrected in its hometown, when immigrant workers marched for their rights in Chicago again, in the largest demonstration of any sort that this city had ever seen. While in nearly every major city in the world workers had come to celebrate the anniversary of the Chicago march of 1886, the celebrations had been nothing in Chicago until International Workers Day this year.
The contrasts abound, of course, but they are more style than substance. In 1886, the immigrants were Europeans, and were led by anarchists and socialists. Today, the majority of the immigrants were Latin Americans or Latinos, though thousands of Asians, Europeans, and Africans represented as well, and the politics of the marchers is far wider and generally centrist. But in 1886, immigrant workers marched for their rights, and one hundred twenty years later we marched again.
Chicago is an immigrant city, so battles for both immigration rights and workers power have been dead, but a recent assault on specifically Latin American immigrants has awoken this giant. Television news has for the past few years railed daily on an imagined ‘invasion’ of our border, successfully conjuring up a sense of war and hatred in viewers (so much for the myth of the liberal media). There has also been a clear effort to focus the debate for European-Americans onto the evidence that they will be a minority in decades to come and their culture will no longer be dominant in the country, fomenting racism amongst viewers and readers.

That article is stupid at best, and ignorant lies at worst. According to your stupid article it is racist becaused Euro-Americans do not want their country to be overtaken by lantinos? lol

Euro-Americans built this country and if Euro-Americans want to remain the majority in their country then they have every right to and we of course will. We are never going to give up our majority to racist hispanics who think they have some right to infest our country by the millions simply because Euro-Americans built a successful society like all Europeans have and the hispanics have built another 3rd world nation(Mexico) as they always have.

There are only 2 kinds of people who support a mexican invasion of the US. Auto-racist whites and hispanics.

Whatever that article said the vast majority of Asians, American Indians, Blacks, and Whites oppose the shifting of political control from Euro-American hands to that of 3rd world Mexicans.

Under Euro political control and social control every single nation under European majority has enjoyed success and stability. Do you think that Asians, Blacks, American Indians, and especially Euro-Americans don't realize this?

Do you actually think they'd be stupid enough to hand political control over from the group of people who have made society stable,safe, and successful, to a group of people who cannot even fix their own country, so decide instead to invade someone elses and demand to become a citizen of it?

Don't make me laugh. This article is as pathetic as they come.

Ok bayano. You can only have one screen name. This should be flagged so the mods can check the IP of this user and see if it matches bayano. What are the odds that some new person only posts a single post in the immigration forum on a topic that has hardly any posts.

Aparently the odds are pretty good. I'm not bayano, nor have I ever met bayano.
I do however owe you an apology. This was the first post of yours that I read (because I really am new to this site), and it struck me as pretty bigoted and racist. I have since read a lot of your other posts and can understand where you are coming from, and even agree with a lot of it. (and disagree) After reading them, I don't think of you as racist...just proud. So...I'm sorry.
Where we differ in opinion, (and what I should have stated in my previous post, instead of just leaving it at what I did) is legality vs invasion. And it' not really be a difference of opinion so much as a difference in priority of opinion. My main beef is the legality of the situation. You're main beef is a culture invasion (it seems to me).
